Eklo, 9Th District.-In riding through York
and Baltimore counties I score point in favor of
our farmers, who, notice, have hauled their corn
fodder in. They are all busy just now blowing.
Quite number of sales of personal property

move to New Freedom, Pa, and will be succeeded
by his son George.
Mr.. John w. Hoffman's sale of personal prop
erty, conducted by our genial auctioneer, James
II. Mccullough, was well attended on the Sd inst.
We regret to lose such good farmers from our
midst as those mentioned above. Mr.. Hoffman
expects to move to Baltimore. a
report has reached here of the burning Of the
large barn and forty head of cattle ON the night
of the I'd inst, belonging to Mr.. Tracey, living
near Lineboro', Carroll county, on the Baltimore

our correspondent.-EDs. UNION.

How Forger was Trapped.-For more
than year Officer Vansant, of Ellicott City, has
had several warrants in his possession for the
arrest of N. A. Selby, well-known farmer of
Howard county, who is charged with forgery. All
efforts to locate his proved fruitess until last
Saturday, when Officer Vansant saw Selby's wife
and at once telegraphed to Marshal Frey, in Bal
timore, asking him to watch for her arrival Mrs.
Selby went to the city and the detective saw her
leave the train and take another in the afternoon
on the Maryland Central Railroad for Glenarm,
where the officers followed and saw her meet her
husband. They ascertained that Selby had been
living near GIenarm under the assumed name of
Smith, and they at once arrested him and return
ed to the city with him, Officer Vansant taking
him to Ellicott City the same night. Selby is
charged with obtaining about $4,000 on notes
with his fathers forged signature. His forgeries
were detected in April, 1886. A number of war
rants were gotten out for his arrest at the Septem
Der term of the Circuit Court of Howard county in
1885. He was indicted by the grand jury upon
these charges. Officer Vansant stated that it was
only few days ago that he got any information
concerning Selby, and that his wife's movements
gave him the clue. Sebys father, Mr.. Enoch
Selby, is prominent and well-known resident of
Howard county, and is said to be we'll off.

ment.-0n Friday evening of last week the Madi-
son Avenue Protective Association held q meeting
at the residence of Mr.. G.. W. Gail, near Druid
Hill Park, and appointed Messrs. Walter B. Brooks,
W.. Burns Trundle and David Bachrach o COM
m.tee to note all proceedings relating to annexa-
ton, and to take such action as they deem best
for the interest of the people of their neghborhood
The committee was also instructed to confer with
committees of other Belt associations as to as
certain whether not their interests will be pro-
tected in case the Belt is annexed to the city. The
officers of the association are: g. w. Gail, pres-
dent; VIM. Furguson, vice. president; H. 5. Plat,
treasurer, and e. Stofregen, secretary.
Mr.. Brooks says he is in favor of the annexa-
ton proposition If it is carried out on equitable
terms. He means by this upon terms that will be
fair to the Belt and to the city. He would not
desire to have vacant ground in the county taxed
as vacant ground in the city, but thinks that 1t
should be taxed on about the present basis. Inc
Belt, by the increase in population from the city,
in the event of annexation, would be compensated
for the change. Mr.. Brooks said that If plan OF
annexation is adopted into law, q basis that ne
can accept as equitable, he will use bis influence
in its favor at Canton and in the section of the
Belt where he resides, west and northwest OF the
city.
Shot his Brother.-A few days ago while

ing Q very ugly wound. The young man was
taken to house near by and Was afterwards re-
moved to his homo.

The Prince Of Wales Heir.

In everything except the indispen-
sable tawny beard that falls like roll
of dead gold silk to the extremity of a
massive chest, Prince Albert Victor,
the eldest SOC of the Prince of Wales,
models himself on Ouida's heroes. He
is as fond OF knickknacks as lady.
His private apartments are the nearest
approach to the talented but vulgar
authoress's ideal of young guards
mans rooms. He would not brush his
hair otherwise than with an ivory
backed brush to save his life. Eau de
Cologne and other perfumes have their
place in his bath. To write note on
paper that was not the triumph of the
perfumer's art. would, in his own im-
agination, be unworthy of his tastes
and position. He has started in life,
in fact, as an exquisite of the George
". type; but luckily for himself and
for the nation, he is preserved from
some of the most objectionable traits
of the First Gentlelnan's" character
by the sensitive shyness of his dispo-
sition. He differs again from most ex
qnisites in having praiseworthy de-
sire to pay promptly for the luxuries
in which he INDUCES. Indeed, he
worries his attendants to worry his
tradespeople to send in their bills
sharp, and frets and fumes if tho as
tute shopkeeper-alive to thevalue of
having the future King of England
upon their books within decent limits
delay in delivering their accounts.
Like his father, he gets his elothes--
and plenty of them-from Poole.
Prince Albert Victor's idea of digni-
fed mutt is frock coat and lavender
or gray trousers. He seldom wears
cutaway coat, and even when travel
ling hardly ever appears in a suit of
dittoes. On the whole. he may be de-
scribed as very stately and solemn
young man.-LOadon Letter.

Paddock. .Braeelets for the Girls.


"Chain bracelets are very fashion
able now for girls engaged to be
married." said a jeweler to a New
York Nail reporter. "Some have a
paddock attached. The lover places
the chain about the wrist whose pulses
beat for him, locks the dainty symbol
of bondage. and wears the key ON his
-watch-chain. Ladies who wear their
bonds lightly find it easy to slip the
pretty evidence of engaged affections
far up the arm and hide Il beneath the
sleeve when they wish to please others
than their Romeos. The big con-
spieuous diamond ring is not so easily
hidden. Some of the chain bracelets
are of beaten gold and others of nugget
gold. Some are made as a simple
chain, while in others the links are
beautifully engraved. Some have tlia-
monds and precious stones set in the
links. We made very novel bracelet
recently. It was an acrost;e ornament,
il one may use chat term. 1t was a
chain with a paddock, but the middle
seven links were nuggets with precious
stones in each one. The first letter of
the stones read: d. E. A. r. E. S. T. ,
and the stones where placed in the
order: Diamond, Emerald, Amethyst,
Ruby. Emerald, Sapphire, Topaz.
This bracelet cost $3.50 and was one of
the handsomest have ever seen.';

Experiments have been going on with
an ingenious machine which shuts
over man's-eye so that the eyelid as
it winks opens and closes chrono-

This is probably as quick as one can

CoIoeue's Great Beu.

300 kilos, OF nearly 15s hundredweight.
Its perpendicular height is almost 14s
feet; its diameter at the mouth nearly
III feet Twenty-Five cannon taken
from the French were assigned by the
Emperor William for its manufacture;
5000 kilos of tin were added.
1t was cast by Andreas Hamm of
Franenthal. and 21 600 marks Gel ,050)
were paid for the casting. 1t will be
known as the Kaiserglocke, or Emper-

The bell was solemnly blessed in the
cathedral by the Archbishop OF
Cologne according to the elaborate
ritual set out in the Pontifcale Ro-
manum. The ceremony was very long,
many psalms being chanted by the
clergy and choristers while the bell was
being sprinkled with blessed water
and anointed with ehrism, and the por.
ton of st. Luke, x, 38-42, was chanted
by deacon. Incense and myrih were
burned within it and many symbolical
rites performed. The opinions of ex-
